That isn't underrated. It is rated exactly as it deserved.

Not that it's underated but road to perdition is one of the best movies and not to many people i know have seen it.

Road to Perdition was amazing. His son, I thought he was good but he never really went on to do anything big.

I'd have to say Stardust, even though I guess the more appropriate term regarding that movie would be overlooked.

But yes Dark City is one of my all time favorites.

Hard Candy, an amazing movie, check out the cast.

Cast (in credits order) verified as complete

Patrick Wilson ... Jeff Kohlver

Ellen Page ... Hayley Stark

Sandra Oh ... Judy Tokuda

Odessa Rae ... Janelle Rogers

G.J. Echternkamp ... Nighthawks Clerk

Two main actors who got 99% of screen time, and three other very short, one minute roles, and they created that which is, in my humble opinion, the best movie in the history of cinematography so far.

Vidoq - amazing story, amazing cinematography, great acting. And the villain has a mirror-like mask that steals the souls of the people he kills. Beat that, you "Random Generic American Comic Book Villain Bullcrap"

Brotherhood of the Wolf - great action movie, a bit less amazing than Vidoq but still better than any Uwe Bollesque hollywoodian bullshit.

I agree with equlibrium - it was a great movie, I would love to see another - but not another just to make money-

Another great and unmentioned movie is Flesh+Blood - not flesh and blood- that appears to be a gay porn movie...damn yahoo search useing + as 'and'

Flesh+Blood (1985)

Ravenous (1999)
The Woodsman (2004)

Fuck yes for Ravenous, +1 sir, +1.

Love that movie. Colonial cannibals that gain super powers? Yodeling in the soundtrack? I thought no one liked it but me =\

HE WAS LICKING ME!

LiquidDeath · 02-24-2009, 10:31 AM

Grosse Point Blank was always a movie I felt deserved way more acclaim.

Also, +1 to Ravenous and Brotherhood of the Wolves.

Dog Soldiers was never hyped enough for a campy, low-budget, but really fun werewolf movie.

I really didn't care for Hard Candy. The Pedophile was just too dumb for me.

chaos · 02-24-2009, 12:55 PM

+3 for Ravenous. Fucking excellent movie.

I was trying to get Brotherhood of the Wolf on DVD a while back and couldn't find it anywhere. I remember that being an amazing movie.

When I was a kid I liked a lot of foreign movies. Man Bites Dog, City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, all awesome movies.

Watched Sunshine last night. Good Sci-Fi flick with good actors and a solid story but pretty generic plot overall. Worth a watch and all though.

Props to Hard Candy, but the other two were just horrid.
